It seems that global star Cher unexpectedly gained the status of a grandmother, although this fact remained a secret for her for a whole fifteen years. Former model Katie Edwards shared a sensational statement: last year she revealed to the pop icon that she has a daughter from Cher's son, Elijah Blue Allman. This astonishing turn of events, first reported by The Sun, was a real shock for the singer, as she had been unaware of her granddaughter's existence for so long. 49-year-old Katie Edwards stated that her brief romance with Elijah in 2010 led to the birth of a daughter named Ever. She claims that Cher's 49-year-old son was always aware of the child's existence, but unfortunately, he never took on a full fatherly role. Elijah only occasionally appeared in their lives, preferring to stay away from parental responsibilities. The most surprising aspect of this story, according to Edwards, was that Cher only learned the truth in June of last year. The singer herself contacted Katie to clarify rumors that had reached her for several years. It turns out that Elijah mentioned his daughter during his overdose in 2021, but at that time Cher dismissed his words as nonsense and did not take them seriously. "When she heard this news, she was breathless," claims Katie Edwards, describing Cher's reaction. Moreover, she added that the legendary artist shared her joy with her loved ones, exclaiming, "Oh my God, I finally became a grandmother." ## Warming Relations Despite such an unexpected and difficult beginning, Katie Edwards notes a significant warming in their relationship with Cher. In September of last year, she and 15-year-old Ever received an invitation to stay at the singer's luxurious home in Malibu. Cher gladly accepted the role of a hospitable hostess and newly minted grandmother, surrounding them with care. According to Edwards, Cher enthusiastically showed Ever her legendary stage costumes, sharing interesting stories. She also showed a lively interest in her granddaughter's life, asking many questions and trying to get to know her better. ## Cher's Family: Children and Personal Life Cher has been married twice: first to talented musician Sonny Bono, and then to singer Gregg Allman. From these marriages, the star has two children — Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman. Cher's eldest son, Chaz, was born a girl but later transitioned and became a man. Elijah, unfortunately, has long been struggling with substance addiction. He was married to singer Mariangela King, but their marriage ended in 2025 after eleven years together. A few years ago, deeply concerned about her son's condition, Cher even filed for guardianship. This was done against the backdrop of his difficult battle with addiction, as the singer tried to help him in every possible way.  ## Cher's Current Relationships At 79 years old, Cher is in a romantic relationship with 39-year-old music producer Alexander Edwards. Their romance began in November 2022, despite the significant age difference. The couple experienced a brief breakup but soon reunited, confirming the strength of their feelings. In March 2026, Cher fueled rumors of a possible engagement by appearing in public with a luxurious ring on her ring finger.
